The other day in the program "Nightmares in his ink" a girl wanted to cover up with a cover up a pentagram that was tattooed in an act of adolescent rebellion believing that it was a David's star; What amazed me the most was that everyone thought it was a satanic symbol, including the principal of the Catholic school I attended.
I do not know if a Star of David symbol of Judaism would have made him more amusing, but what everyone should have known is that the pentagram is not satanic: in fact it represents, among other things, Christ as the Alpha and Omega, beginning and end.
Symbolism of the five-pointed star
Five results from the sum of two unequal numbers, one even or feminine and one odd or masculine, heaven and earth; is, therefore, a union symbol. The inverted pentagram with which they confused him is, however, a symbol of disunity and represents the devil (as I will tell you another day)
Five is the fifth element or quintessence that the alchemists were looking for to make the Philosopher's Stone; they are the five elements concentrated in a single one: the ether that is its substrate; hence the Wiccan pentagram represents the human being and its five elements.
The Gnostics call it Flaming Star and they consider it a sign of magical omnipotence, for that reason they use it in their rituals since it dominates the elements of Nature and drives away evil spirits.
It is a protective amulet, so it is a good protection tattoo be it a simple pentagram, be it the wiccan one that includes all the magical elements.
Another interesting tattoo would be a pentagram within a square, this one within an equilateral triangle finally enclosed by a circle. It is considered the perfect symbol: the pentagram is the man; the square, the elements; the triangle, the Trinity and the circle the universal spirit.
